Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal: ‘Last Man Standing’ goes down tonight (Sat. Jul 6th, 2024) from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. And because California is one of the few athletic commissions left still demanding promoters provide payout information for their events, we know roughly how much everyone is going to make off the card.
When examining the payouts below, the top three fighters stand out. Nate Diaz is earning $500,000, while Jorge Masvidal is receiving $300,000. On the undercard, Anthony Pettis is surprisingly making $350,000 for his match against Diaz’s teammate, Chris Avila, who is taking home $210,000.
Why is Pettis earning a higher amount than Masvidal on a card named after Masvidal? It’s because the commission payout figures can be manipulated easily. Signing bonuses are not disclosed, and pay-per-view shares are not publicly mentioned. Rest assured, Diaz and Masvidal are likely earning more from the pay-per-view earnings.

Here’s the rest of the card’s payouts, courtesy of boxing reporter Dan Rafael.
Nate Diaz: $500,000
Jorge Masvidal: $300,000
Daniel Jacobs: $100,000
Shane Mosley Jr.: $160,000
(Rafael notes Jacobs is getting paid an additional $100,000 guarantee)
Chris Avila: $210,000
Anthony Pettis: $350,000
Curmel Moton: $40,000
Nikolai Buzolin: $8,000
Amado Vargas: $100,000
Sean Garcia: $50,000
Devin Cushing: $60,000
Manuel Correa: $15,000
Luciano Ramos: $5000
Dan Hernandez: $3500
Alan Sanchez: $55,000
Luis Lopez: $22,500
Steven Dunn: $500
Gabriel Costa: $2500
Jose Aguayo: $40,000
Bryce Logan: $6,000
Ken Lopez: $18,000
Andres Martinez: $600
As is customary in boxing, the highest earners reap substantial rewards while those at the lower end struggle to make ends meet. Hopefully, Andres Martinez managed to secure some additional funds for his fight. Receiving a mere $600 compared to his opponent’s $18,000 seems quite harsh. Such is the reality for those on the less favored side of the sport, my friend.
